This year's Oscars went off without a hitch! I know many of us tuned into the 95th Academy Awards last night to see how many hack jokes about The Slap would happen, and I was one of those people! Jimmy Kimmel did…fine as the host. We had one big upset in the category of Best Supporting Actress with Jamie Lee Curtis beating Angela Bassett. The two main winners of the night were All Quiet on the Western Front and Everything Everywhere All At Once . Everything Everywhere All At Once is now the mos…

One of life's greatest pleasures is being able to complain about a job you hate . If I wasn't able to tell my close friends and family about the annoying customers and often more annoying coworkers at my customer service jobs, then I don't know how I would be able to survive. Even when things weren't so bad at work, it's fun to share work stories. When I worked at a dog bakery, a customer told me she owned a dog funeral parlor. I was so taken aback that all I could say was, “I'm sorry" To that,…

Here we go again

“I'm at the Pizza Hut. I'm at the Taco Bell. I'm at the Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell.”

Howdy, y'all. Today we're celebrating the oft-misunderstood and sometimes feared world of clowns in the best way we know how: with memes. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Why would anyone want to look at memes about clowns ? They're creepy and give me nightmares!" You're not alone in that sentiment. A surprising number of people have a deep-rooted fear of clowns, also known as coulrophobia. But maybe - just maybe - that fear stems from seeing a bit too much of ourselves in those colorful yet…

Recently, a Twitter user ( @PhadkeTai) has sparked outrage and anger among pet owners and animal obsessives by suggesting that our beloved pets are incapable of loving their owners. The tweet, which quickly went viral - generated quite a heated debate and a lot of criticism from those of us who believe (or know!) that animals are indeed capable of love and emotional connection with their human companions. @PhadkeTai's remarks were perceived as insensitive and dismissive of the deep bonds that m…

Hallelujah, it's the weekend. It's been a rough week for many of us. The days leading up to the holidays can be exhausting. The social pressures, and the money issues. The lack of time and the family stress. Everyone has their own most-hated bit of the weeks before the Christmas and Chanukah holidays . For me, it's buying gifts. My family is nearly impossible to buy gifts for. My mom always says she wants “peace and quiet.” She loves mezcal, but my Dad hates it when she drinks. She is very fuss…

If you're someone who spends so much time scrolling through memes that you forget to eat, shower, or see sunlight, you're in good company. We here at Memebase totally get it - memes are like potato chips, you can't just have one. You have to have them all. As anxious-depressive humor experts, we often find ourselves throwing ourselves into humor to lessen the pain of existence. But let's be real, if you're using memes as a way to avoid dealing with your problems, you might want to consider ther…

Don't say rap and country

Barbz rule the internet

It's easy to dismiss memes as frivolous tools of fun and humor, but have you ever wondered how memes might be able to change the world? Well, humor me and imagine a reality where the most powerful political figures communicated exclusively through memes. You wake up to find a tweet from the president of the United States with a meme of a confused cat asking, "Wait, you mean there's no wall?" The Prime Minister of the UK replies with a GIF of a man face-palming, captioned "Brexit negotiations be…

Move fast and break things

Country boy, I love you! Let's be real here… hunting and fishing are pretty fun activities. I have yet to go hunting, but I was known to brandish a fishing pole when I was a kid. My grandpa's buddy had a lake in his backyard and I had a blast reeling in fish. Ever since I became a city boy, I've been dying to do it again. Hunting and fishing aren't those activities like ice skating or rock climbing that can be done in urban areas indoors as well as in the wilderness. You really have to get dirt…

It's that time of the week!

Get growing

The world can be a very cruel and unfriendly place. While it is definitely true that we tend to speak from a place of privilege , going back to normal isn't feeling that hot. Being forced to commute to prison-like offices has felt nothing short of awful, and while the thought of partying with friends is cool, the reality of dressing up, going to a bar or club, and being surrounded by strangers kind of blows. Especially when they're still coming down with Covid-19. It is a pretty confusing time.…
